As the fight for Lok Pal bill continues today on 16th August Anna Hazare was arrested from his residence in Mayur Vihar before he could reach the place of protest, other members including Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Kiran Bedi- were detained too and taken to the police mess in DTC buses. Eminent lawyer Shanti Bhushan was detained at Rajghat. Protesters and supporters of Anna and Lokpal Bill were seen all along. Citizens from around the country are coming forward to assist Anna in his fight against corruption and the declined to accept the government’s format of Lokpal bill.
People have been defending Congress(ruling party) saying its actions are justified leaders like Digvijay Singh and Laloo Yadav have come forward in defence of the government. They said whatever has been done was confined by law and Anna should not have taken such measures rather sitting with the standing committee was a better option for him. With the leader of the ruling party away from the country due to health issues its hard to predict what action or justification this government has to offer next. But the response of the common public depicts that it is against the government and corruption. This bill if allowed will definitely reduce corruption in India. India which ranks 87th in the list of corrupt countries has declined in progress and is suffering from inflation these days.
We support Anna and his Lokpal bill.
